UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season

[Rabi3]

Manchester United form in the Europa league  have been at top level,  they have only lost one and won 5 games. The playoff fixture against Barcelona will be test of their consistency level because it looks like they are finally finding the balance under Ten Hag's management. Manchester United perform better against top teams and Barcelona will be no different from others but it is a 50/50 game and anyone could win.

United has been starting to be even more mature. The new united under ten hag has become a new form of united which has been fulfilled by so many young talented players. it can be considered as the most difficult match for MU. Barcelona has a very good result in h2h against MU. this is the time for MU to break such rumour if MU was an easy opponent for barcelona. this gonna be death battle for both. I think that i will pick MU in this case seeing from the impressive performance in EPL.
MU is also having good performance during the group qualified in europa league too. MU is so underrated at this moment.

I think Manchester United are experiencing the Ten Hag effect, I will clearly agree that Erik Ten Hag has impacted positively to the team with his disciplinary measures, his tactics and style of play is now proving productive which we can obviously see on the team's outstanding performance lately, the most surprising part of it for me is how well he has transformed Marcus Rashford to be more lethal in front of goal.

Ten Hag is doing his job at Man Utd pretty well, and it shows how a good combination of players is not enough and a team also need a good plan and good tactics to make each player more comfortable in their position and duties on the field, the first match against Barcelona will very difficult for them especially because it will at Camp Nou, and Man Utd been doing really well mostly at Old Trafford, so if Barca managed to win with a difference of two goals it will be really difficult for Man Utd to comeback and i don't think they can, but if they managed to get a draw i'm pretty sure they can beat barcelona in the 2nd leg and qualify, Man Utd are cooking every team on Old Trafford lately.

When two tough teams that are unpredictable meets the game is always interesting. By the end of the game the result will tell which among the both team is the strongest.  Manchester United can't afford to losein the game, Ten Hag will make sure his team wins the match.

It's no different from Barcelona, after their failure in the Champions League, coach Xavi will make sure his team wins matches in the Europa League.
This is the right moment with Barcelona's new squad this season
Xavi's toughest challenge is dividing the team's concentration between the Laliga and Europa League competitions
They still have a big chance to win La Liga, as well as in the Europa League

All the teams participating in these two competitions will be in the same situation where they have to divide their concentration, so this shouldn't be the reason why they failed in that competition. I think Xavi Hernandez already knows very well what he has to do to keep his players in good shape. He has experience as a player for sure he himself already understands things like this. Careful preparation and rotation will really help here.

[Docnaster]

I think Man United's performance is slightly better than Barcelona, where in their last 7 matches Man United always won, while Barcelona had to draw 2 times and win 5 times. Man United also managed to score 17 goals and only conceded 3 goals, while Barcelona created 16 goals and conceded 9 goals. The numbers above are not a guarantee for a victory because there are indeed other factors that have a big influence on a match. But those statistics can still be considered that Man United is currently having a better trend than Barcelona, and of course, they have a chance to beat Barcelona.

And I also have come to full agreement with you that Manchester United are not slightly but currently better than Barcelona in terms of the current form of the both sides. We haven't really scored a lot of goals but the defense has improved with Harry Maguire also been dropped on the bench.

If same tactical intelligence from Erik Ten Hag would be used same way against Barcelona, they're of no match to us ( Manchester United ) completely. My scare has to be Pedri, Gavi, Dembele and Robert Lewandoski the rest can be well handled, but if according to Ten Hag the team are together, they have a chance to win against Barcelona during the play next month.

I'd love to see Manchester United take this great form to April

U said Manchester united is currently better than FC Barcelona and at the same time, you are scared of Pedri, Gavi, Dembele, and Robert Lewandowsky. Fc Barcelona's performance is below expectations, but it doesn't mean that they wouldn't give all they have in other to win the Europa League title. Man United has risen to a different height, but Barcelona is also good in their way. I quest the side with a better game plan will win the match. It's uncertain to judge from the current performance.

[asriloni]

Manchester United's performance is getting better and better now. The play offs are only a month away from being carried out and seeing Manchester United's performance today against Manchester City, I think Barcelona should be more vigilant because their matches are getting better and better.
Manchester United's midfield is quite good at providing good passes now on the other hand their youngsters are also on the wing like Garnacho and Rashford need to be watched out for even though Barcelona also have youngsters who are not much different from them.

Barcelona must be careful with the improvements that happened with MU. Rashford will become the main key for united to be able to win against barcelona. Dembele might be a threat for MU but im sure that MU has good team for now. MU was able to beating manchester city. I think that the different between MU and barcelona are not too far right now. MU has capability to beat barcelona in the europa league. The play off to go to the last 16 of europa league become even harder.
Juventus is also starting to struggle with its performance in serie a. I think that MU and barcelona were equal at this moment consider from the result achieved by MU

Ten Hag was able to bring United even better in a very short time, their performance improved a lot compared to the start of the season. Currently, The Red Devils have more and more solid motivation and mentality, especially after overthrowing their city rivals, namely Manchester City.

I am quite optimistic, next season Manchester United will be able to compete and become one of the challengers in the Champions League. more so, if Ten Hag can keep his troop's performance stable. it is not impossible, United are able to overthrow Barcelona.

I'm pretty sure as a coach, Xavi will pay more attention to Man United, who is currently on fire. the reason is, Xavi has stated that they are targeting a trophy in this competition. as their opponent was United, Xavi knew very well that their current opponent had become very formidable. at least, Barcelona will prepare its troops to face United in the playoffs later. This fight will present a very interesting match.

Well i am sure, that Xavi will do his absolute best to win the Europa League with his team because FC Barcelona desperately needs the money that you can get if you go far in this competition. It is already a huge loss for them that they did not manage to advance into the knockout stage of the Champions League again after they already failed to do so last year. Barca really needs the money because they are almost broke.
I don't really think though, that they will win this competition. In the end Barca is just not the strongest team that is still in this competition. For me there are several other clubs that are at least as good as Barca.

Erik Ten Hag was able to make the Manchester United team even tougher, he did a pretty good job, barcelona and Manchester United need good tactics and strategies in the upcoming matches, seeing Manchester United's performance increase is quite high, I think Barcelona really need to be careful heart with Manchester United, under the tutelage of Erik Teh Hag who remains stable, I'm sure Barcelona will be overthrown by Manchester United.

Being a coach is totally different when he was playing as a player. So many critics have been coming for him early season caused by he has the worst history with barcelona. Xavi has worst win rate compared with another coach of barcelona in the same era. There shall not be a rotation when it will be only making the performance from the club to decline. The problem is MU was on fire. Manchester city as a strongest candidate in UCL has beaten by united. It was showing us about how strong MU right now.
Barcelona needs also become very careful. MU has a very good defenders right now and MU is has been found its soul. It can be said that MU has a very good team work now.

I have seen many positive comments about Ten Hag, unlike many, I still disagree, because in my personal opinion a team cannot get along while a technical director is very arrogant and believes that he is even above himself clyub, that's something I still can't understand, the Europa League is a way to measure who is stronger, and who has more mental and physical strength in the competition, because this competition allows us to see which team is going to perform much better in the UCL , and he knows very well everything that it contains in his way of seeing it, for i these things have to be treated with great measure, that's why even so, Man United have had good games, I don't think they are still at the level.

Paul Scholes makes Marcus Rashford admission after Cristiano Ronaldo Man Utd exit

Paul Scholes believes Marcus Rashford has taken on the onus of being the match-winner for Manchester United since Cristiano Ronaldo's exit.

The attacker is the club's top scorer, having netted 15 times ahead of United's lunchtime clash with Manchester City. Rashford's double against Charlton in the League Cup on Tuesday meant he became the first player to score in eight consecutive Old Trafford matches since Wayne Rooney in 2010.

It meant he scored in all seven matches after the World Cup and since Ronaldo's exit. The superstar had his United contract mutually terminated during the tournament after his infamous interview with Piers Morgan.

Both clubs are going into the head-to-head match in great spirits - Barcelona in first place in La Liga and United just one point behind City. It will be most offensive if some of the clubs (for example, United) treat the game not as an important event, but as a second or third priority. There are fewer such suspicions about Barcelona because Xavi, after a series of failures, is trying to win at least something.

Manchester United's performance is getting better and better now. The play offs are only a month away from being carried out and seeing Manchester United's performance today against Manchester City, I think Barcelona should be more vigilant because their matches are getting better and better.
Manchester United's midfield is quite good at providing good passes now on the other hand their youngsters are also on the wing like Garnacho and Rashford need to be watched out for even though Barcelona also has youngsters who are not much different from them.

If you ask me, I will say that the only advantage Manchester united has over Barcelona is the defense. Despite all the winnings Manchester united has achieved, they hardly concede more than one goal per match, and this is a complete reverse in Barcelona's side. In the last 7 matches, Barcelona has conceded more than they should and this is a sign of defensive deficiency. As per attackers and midfielders, they are well-to-do.

If indeed something like that happens I think Xavi already knows what they have to fix here, especially since the match is still quite long and there is still time to fix it.
As long as both clubs don't have a situation where injuries kick in I think this will be a good thing for both of them and it's still hard to tell now with their current state.
Both Manchester United and Barcelona still have a big chance in this game.

[Zackgeno96]

Manchester United together with Arsenal are the best teams at the moment. I think Juventus actually have quite little chance if they had to play a two camp against 1 of these teams. You only have to deal with the draw of Barcelona - Manchester United. Still one of the favorites for the title. I find it quite difficult to make a good estimate of this. Barcelona is no longer the Barcelona of a few years ago, but the same can be said of Manchester United. Still, United are better off than Barcelona at the moment. United beat City last weekend. It will be an interesting showdown that could go either way. Arsenal will be watching this match with rubbing hands as 1 title competitor will be eliminated anyway. And what should we think about Ajax and Sevilla? Both are in horrible shape.

Dembele might be a threat for MU but im sure that MU has good team for now. MU was able to beating manchester city. I think that the different between MU and barcelona are not too far right now.

Careful? You should have waited for the final result of the recently concluded Super Cup before making warnings for Barcelona, trust me. I know Manchester United has improved recently in their performance, winning the teams that have been leading other leagues, but I think Barcelona would leverage their Champions League loss to win the Europa League on the bag, Xavi wants that, and looking at how smart Rashford is hot in Manchester United, Barcelona has Gavi as well, I can strongly say that Barcelona is upto this task to win the Europa League.

Juventus isn't too bad, Milan is just a point away, winning a single match will settle the points they need to be ahead. Nantes is the one who needs more warning considering their position on the table and the last matches they have played so far because it looks below average for someone who wants to win the Europa trophy.

I think Man United's performance is slightly better than Barcelona, where in their last 7 matches Man United always won, while Barcelona had to draw 2 times and win 5 times.

Erik Ten Hag was able to make the Manchester United team even tougher, he did a pretty good job, barcelona and Manchester United need good tactics and strategies in the upcoming matches, seeing Manchester United's performance increase is quite high, I think Barcelona really need to be careful heart with Manchester United, under the tutelage of Erik Teh Hag who remains stable, I'm sure Barcelona will be overthrown by Manchester United.

I'm now believing in Manchester United they may succeed in defeating Barcelona.  If Manchester United was able to defeat Manchester City in the premier league I don't see Barcelona to be that difficult for them.  Manchester United is good to challenge any big team.

Suprisingly the decision that already made by ten hag by terminating ronaldo was giving a good impact to the club especially rashford. It's caused by the team was fully developing rashford now. I do like how dicipline he was. Ten hag was even limiting the salary that can be received by players. It's not only rashford but ten hag has ben transforming the whole player in the team to be a new team that can work together. that's why the chemistry from any players are so good now. It's caused by that. I hope that MU can also win at least one trophy this season.

Barcelona and Manchester United have shown their best quality when they beat their respective rivals. Manchester United successfully beat Manchester City in the Premier League, while Barcelona just humiliated Real Madrid 3-1 in the Spanish Super Cup final.
This match will be one of the big games in the Europa League, I really hope these two teams meet in the Final, but the EUL draw brings these two teams together sooner than expected.

[Despairo]

I'm now believing in Manchester United they may succeed in defeating Barcelona.  If Manchester United was able to defeat Manchester City in the premier league I don't see Barcelona to be that difficult for them.  Manchester United is good to challenge any big team.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Manchester City previously was lost to Southampton too, so we can say Manchester City performance doesn't really good recently. While Barcelona they have beat Real Madrid which is previous winner of Champions League, you need to know if Champions League is higher than Europa League.

I still think Barcelona has a slight advantage maybe 55-60% to win against Manchester United that either 40-45% to win.

Ten hag has been transforming MU to the a team that is having a very good team work. Manchester united shall have learned from so many previous matches about what's gonna be the weakness from barcelona. Manchester united shall focus to the barcelona's winger. Lewandowski can be prevented easily but it seems like that barcelona's winger has become the main key for the barcelona. It's too early to say that barcelona will overthrown MU.
You shall learn from the match barcelona against frankfurt. There would be lots of lesson that can be taken.

The win over City in the League provides optimism that United are back on track as a club to be reckoned with in all the competitions they have played in including in the Europa League. The match is about 1 month away so anything can happen and what is most frightening for a team that is on the way up is the injury to their core player, if this happens to Man United they might return to being a team that is struggling to return to the good things it is today

[Z-tight]

I still think Barcelona has a slight advantage maybe 55-60% to win against Manchester United that either 40-45% to win.

I don't think Barcelona will care if they are eliminated by United, they will surely want to win but their focus is on the La Liga, they are top of the La Liga and they just beat real madrid to win the Supercopa, so if they didn't believe before, now they believe that they can win the La Liga from real madrid, and that is the big trophy they want. If the Europa league would be a distraction to them if they go far in it, then it is better they are eliminated by United early. Manchester United have been playing well in the premier league too, but they are not the favorites for it, but in the La Liga barcelona are favorites.
